Hi I have a united states of america 5 dollar ( coronet head/heraldic eagle) coins and I
i hope somebody can let me know how to compare the genuine and the fake coin.
No need to compare, it's 500% fake- even in the bad photos you've posted we can see the lettering doesn't even match up at all to a real coin (e.g. FLOWER instead of FIVE DOL.). Probably a fake made for jewellery purposes, with the lettering being a measure to get around anti-counterfeiting laws.
Edit: I was right, you can see "PRIZE JEWELLERY MODERN" where "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" should be.

yup I would call it 1000% fake because of the lettering. And like you said the lettering on the back is all wrong
